Common use of Other Expectations Clause in Contracts

Other Expectations. If your application is funded, you will be expected to develop a behavioral health disparities impact statement no later than 60 days after your award. (See Appendix G – Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities). SAMHSA, working with tribes, the Indian Health Service, and National Indian Health Board developed the first collaborative National Tribal Behavioral Health Agenda (TBHA). Tribal applicants are encouraged to briefly cite the applicable TBHA foundational element(s), priority (ies), and strategies that are addressed by their grant application. The TBHA can be accessed at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/docs/12052016/FINAL%20TBHA%2012-4-16.pdf. SAMHSA strongly encourages all recipients to adopt a tobacco/nicotine inhalation (vaping) product-free facility/grounds policy and to promote abstinence from all tobacco products (except in regard to accepted tribal traditions and practices). Recipients must utilize third party reimbursements and other revenue realized from provision of services to the extent possible and use SAMHSA grant funds only for services to individuals who are not covered by public or commercial health insurance programs, individuals for whom coverage has been formally determined to be unaffordable, or for services that are not sufficiently covered by an individual’s health insurance plan. Recipients are also expected to facilitate the health insurance application and enrollment process for eligible uninsured clients. Recipients should also consider other systems from which a potential service recipient may be eligible for services (for example, the Veterans Health Administration or senior services), if appropriate for and desired by that individual to meet his/her needs. In addition, recipients are required to implement policies and procedures that ensure other sources of funding are utilized first when available for that individual.
